When i worked for vauxhall many moons ago they were using a similar mod also with a resistor on the air temp input wire to retard the ignition timing to stop the 8v sri/gte from pinking underhard throttle. At the time my mate had a sri and we removed it. A little while later the piston blew out the block on the motorway
